No, they are not getting anything showing wrong, when they run the tests. I was out there the other day, pulling the plugs off and cleaning them, making sure everything was secure. Then after that, the crew looked it over and clean out some other things, and redid what I did. I am about to buy a camaro. lol (not a chevy fan at all) It is going to end up being some stupid S*** that no one would think of at this point. Seriously, can it be something strange from it being a trooper issue?

I doubt it being a SSP car has anything to do with it. Like you said, probably just something simple that was overlooked.

If you decide to sell it......I am interested....seriously.



And don't buy a camaro....... [:'(]

EDIT:
Unless the camaro is a 70 or 71.

I thought about taking it to the Ford, dealer. I just don't like anyone to drive or touch it. Once I let someone take it for the timing, and I thought I was going to have an axiety attack. He stalled it 7 times in my driveway. Only to find that the timing was right on. Granted he has worked on my other cars, but those were throw away vehicles. I am **** about the lil' pony. Hopefully thanks to the help of everyoneone here, she'll, he'll it LOL..... will be back to normal, this weekend.

Jay, what's up w/ the name change?

Rachel, SD cars rely more on the Map sensor, so that could be a possiblity. It could also be a loose/cracked/leaking vacuum hose, so I'd check all the vacuum lines to and from the intake [if you haven't already].
